Marie-Christine Andres (Baden/Wettingen)

Abstract

The present paper deals with the doubling verb aafaa 'begin' in Swiss German. The investigation concentrates on the region Baden-Wettigen in the North of the Canton Aargau. This is a transition zone between doubling and non-doubling. The paper discusses the frequency of the doubling of the verb aafaa 'begin' as well as the factors triggering or rather blocking doubling.
